Pierre Gasly reinstated to Monaco Grand Prix podium after successful appeal

  • Pierre Gasly's third-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix has been reinstated following a successful appeal by his Alpine F1 team.
  • Gasly was initially demoted to seventh place after receiving two five-second time penalties for exceeding the pit lane speed limit during the race.
  • Alpine launched an appeal, highlighting that several drivers incurred similar penalties and raising concerns about the official F1 timing system for pit lane speeds.
  • The FIA's review found Alpine's appeal admissible, leading to the rescinding of the penalties and restoring Gasly's original third-place position.
  • This change in classification means Isack Hadjar, Oscar Piastri, Liam Lawson, and Arvid Lindblad each drop one place in the final race results, and Alpine gains nine points in the world championship.
